An Old Japanese Diary. The oldest diary in the world,according ro a Japanese paper, is that of the Eozaka familv,landed proprietors of the province of Kaschin. The diary has been conscientiously kept by the various heads of the family for more than three / PTi+nrifQ Tf- trno linrrnn nt thp timp of the fall of the Takedas, who were masters of Kaschin under Yoritomo, the great Japanese ruler. The pages of the ancient books fail to show that the Hozakas were especially distinguished either for intellect or prowess. There is no doubt,however, that they were conscientious in the discharge of their duties, and lived the peaceful lives of T *1 Tk? t Utt|?ttUC3C ^CUUCLUCU. A JJC oiaic Ul VOW weather was naturally a matter of great importance to them, and each day they chronicled its condition. But the books have other entries as well. A short time ago a dispute over precedence took place between two branches of the same family in Kaschin, each claiming to be the original line. The contestants appealed to the Hozaka diury and found the record of a dinner given several Ar?/\ Krr V?V\no/l ftf f}in i jjuuuicu jcaio a^u ujr iut uvau v* k?v family to the founder of the side line. The record even contained the names of the dishes eaten at the dinner,and effectually settled the dispute. The various Tolume3 of the diary now fill eight chests, and form the chief treasures of :the wealthy Hozaka family.?Chicago Herald. ^ Mrs. W. B.

One of the most original inventions of the day is a little portable and invisible chair, which is very light, and easily adjusted under a lady's gown, so that it does not interfere at all with her walking. Arrived at the point where the person desires to rest, all that is necessary is to assume a position as if about to sit down on an ordinary chair, by which motion the apparatus adjusts itself.?New York Journal.

EDUCATION FOR GIRLS IN HOLLAND. In the higher girls' school in Holland | languages ana literature iorm a very prominent part of the instruction, and I the Dutch young ladies consider these two subjects a mo3t essential part of their education. It was therfore to be expected that these sections would also be well attendei at the universities; but this is, however, not the case. More and more voices are being raised against the fashionable training given to girls and young ladies in Holland, and it is now frequently the case that parents prefer to send their daughters to the boys' school ?an arranement which requires a special permission from the authorities, which is almost invariably granted. ?

It, too, like the square Figaro, cannot be utilized for stout women. One of the most successful visiting dresses is of navy blue vigonne, made with the bell gored-skirt, bordered at the hem by a side plaiting of black satin, above which appears a band of many colored passementerie in the palm-leaf pattern. The skirt is fastened by hooks on a bodice of black satin made full at the throat under a collar of the passementerie and brought down over tii > front bv three enameled studs. Over this is a square Figaro bordered with a row of tiny palm leaves like the threeinch trimming on the skirt. The sleeves are of cloth and the back is in effect a princesse, but, in fact, the meeting of skirt and bodicc is hidden under a black satin ribbon. ?Chicago Herald. FASHIONS II? SASHES.

THI. FAN FA!). .Ln English paper that is quite progivssivc in its methods recently offered a prize for the prettiest fau designed. There were thousands of competitors, but the palm was taken and the prize I was earned on by a little scnool girl only fifteen years of age. The fan was so very pretty in design that it deserved ihc prize. There is no doubt about it. It represented peacock's feathers done upon a changeable electric blue and green background. There was onj very large feather extending from the side of the f?n almost all the way across it, while several smaller featherg rrnacrd the stem of the lurere one. In the other corner there was a bunch of peacock leathers, each one of which showed curious and beautiful play in colors. The fan fad is raging so obstinately among U3 that it is difficultjtopceep women supplied with anything like the number of fans they crave. If you enter a house you see here, there and everywhere fans displayed in possible and what should be impossible places. Of all the fads that have raged recently the fan fad is certainly the prettiest and most sensible one. It is likewise capable of more artistic treatment than fads usually are, and it bids fair to hold its popularity for many seasons, or until the beautiful pictures which are painted upon them and the beautiful embroidery which is done in their folds become obliterated by the cruel hand of the all-destroying Time.?St. Louis Republic. HINTS AS TO SPRING MILLINER?. The wiseacres who confidently prophesied an approximation to coalscuttle bonnets and roomy crowned hats in the spring and summer millinery models are much out of their reckoning. Wide of brim many of the hats are, but such a thing as a crown large enough to fit the head is scarcely to be found, while the majority of the bonnets, toques and turbans before they are trimmed suggest dolls' headgear rather than anything else. Frills, pleatiugs, puffs, etc., of velvet, lace, or silk projecting from the brim, and which are much used, of course add to the size and serve oftentimes to transform a meagre, insignificant shape into a graceful, becoming one. As seen at the wholesale importers', the assortment of <hapes is larger than usual, but the season is hardly fai enough advanced to declare which will be the favorite. It was learned, however. that as to hats straight brims will be worn more than ever, both with a low crown and in plateau style, slightly elongated and turned up at the back. Where the brim is curved ^the tendency is upward rather than the reverse. For instance, the popular shape of last season, drooping at the sides and with a slight elevation in the centre of the front, is sup erseded by a droop or straight line in front and upward curves on the side. "The Guaideman," with a decided role upward on either side of generous dimensions and with a comparatively large, flat- crown, is cited as one of the most stylish and becoming of this years hats. The sailor is with us again, the shape somewhat disguised with a loose puff of velvet or other material falling over part of the crown and the brim. Other than a low crown is not to be seen, but the disposal of the triming in many instances is ahead of last year in pyramidical effect, with the base of the pyramid located in the center rather than at either end of the hat. Full cap-like crowns caught into a stiff, narrow band, representing one of the latest models, are trimmed low and on the side. These are made of all sorts of straw, twisted, turftcd, braided and plain, chip, especially, which is soft and pliable, occupying front rank. In fact the use of chip and all sorts of novel combinations of fancy straw is a noteworthy feature, also their diversity of coloring. All the neutral tints we are accustomed to have been supplemented with the daintiest shades, such as pink, pale blue, Nile green, lilac and many tones of red, all of which, together with numerous mottled vane ties,including cream dashed with brown, brown with red, ecru with blue, and white with almost any color, are procurable in both the large and snail models. Straw ribbons exquisitely variegated in color vie in popularity with those of silk woven in the most bewildering of watered patterns in changable or shadow effects. from all indications Cowers will enjoy an unprecedented reign. Whatever may develop later, it is certain the French models to date show scurcely a trace of ostrich tip or plume, their place being supplied entirely by flowers. Small hats and bonnets made entirely of flowers are sold by the wholesale dealers, the retailer adding a twist of ribbon, lace, fancy straw, etc., to suit the whim of the customer. Worthy of comment in this year's exposition of artificial floral beauty are samples of the late prize chrysanthemums j and unusually beautiful varieties of green leaves, which include many specimens of the feathery fern family. Green is undoubtedly one of the leading colors. Yellow and yellow and black combined tind equal favor. ?New York Sun. FASHION NOTES. Black stockings are in fashion for all occasions.

Corselets of jet, sometimes with the addition of bretelles, are very desirable and fashionable. The new sea green that is to be one of the fashionable colors this spring and summer is called celadon. Half-mourning handkerchiefs are shown with narrow insertions acid edgings of black chantilly lace. Collarettes and cuffs ot lace, chiffon, or embroidery net are popular for the brighteuing up of sober gowns. Handsome pieces of faille with streaks of satin running across them, having the wave effect, are for trimmings. Some fancy styles in gloves have dainty, narrow, stiffened cuffs,or gauntlets, with delicate Bilver or gold em broideries. Vails of tulle, in tints of various sorts, are worn with evening bonnets. Some of these vails are long, aud are wound around the throat. Large metal buttons, stamped and enameled, will be used in most varied designs this season. These will be seen in raised borders in relief with medallion centers, and with additions of silver and celluloid in manj forma. Bis Fljnres About Brooklyn Bridge. No doubt many people have wondered what becomes of the millions of tickets sold and collected annually by the New York and Brooklyn Bridge Company. One who has given some thought to the subject tells what might be done with them, and incidentally gives other figures showing the magnitude of the traffic on the B^jdge. Here they are just as he gave them: "Over forty-one million of people crossed the bridge in 1891 on the bridge cars and promenade. Could all the hands which have purchased tickets be joined together at the end of the year, a circle could be formed 14,112 miles in diameter, or 42,336 miles in circumference; a distance equal to one and one-half times around the earth. If the grand chain were suggested, and the fastest trains and ships employed, it would be nearly three months before one could make the bow and return to his place beside his partner. "A solid square of 20,634 columns of 2000 men each, covering over three square mileB, or 2000 acres, could be formed of the ticket purchasers. "It would take 687,806 passenger coaches, allowing sixty persons to the coach, or 45,853 trains of fifteen coaches each to carry this crowd away. If a hundred a minute could be counted J without stopping during the twenty/ 1 U i. iuur Liu urn, ? wouiu require over eigni months to count them. If hollow squares of 300 feet square can be conceived to be placed one upon the other, the enormous height of nine miles would would be reached. By forming a triangular pyramid with a base of 20,460 square inches, a pyramid could be had much higher than that of "Cheops" in Egypt. If stretched out in a line, bo that the head of one person would touch the feet of another, they would reach a distance of 39,179 miles. "The carriages, wagons, etc., that cross in one year would, if strung out, reach 25,732 miles, or more than once around the earth. "It would take a train of 42,458 box cars, with 2123 engines, to haul the people away, and would, if coupled together, cover 322 miles, or reach from New York to Richmond. "The tickets, if joined together continuously, would reach from New York to St. Paul, a distance of over thirteen hundred miles, and would weigh very nearly a ton. There would be enough tickets to cover the bridge promenade to the depth of an eighth of an inch. If spread out they would cover 673,171 square feet, or thirteen acres of ground. There would be enough tickets to cover the walls, ceiling and nocr of the .Fifth Avenue Hotel corridor fr'ty-seven time9. More than a thousand ordinary-sized rooms could be papered, and if piled up under pressure, one on top of the other, they would reach 34,390 feet, or over six miles high. 4'It would require sixty cars, five feet high, ten feet broad and forty feet long, to6tore all the tickets used in one year."' New York Advertiser. Remarkable Musical Prodigy. Blind Boone was born in Miami, saline County, Mo., in 1863. His mother was a contraband, cooking for Federal soldiers. He lost his sight with brain fever when only six months old. His first musical instrument was a tin whistle, on which he could play any ordinary air alter once hearing it. His next, with a mouth-organ, charmed all the young folks of Warrensburg, where his home was. Some Warrensburg peo? pie sent him to a blind school to learn a trade, but his bent was towards music, and the attempt to teach him anything else was a failure. He left school and. with a little company, tramped around through the State. Finally John Lange, of Columbia, a shrewd, intelligent colored man, took hold of the prodigy, fitted up a company, and Boone is now playing under his management, pleasing audiences all over the United States and Canada. He has amassed considerable fortune, has an elegant home in Columbia, gives liberally to every good cause, and is respected by all his acquaintances. He is the most remarkable musical prodigy of the present generation.? Columbia (Mo.) Herald. Bumble Bees in New Zealand. The introduction of the bumble bee into New Zealand a few vears turn in hp. cure the fertilization of the red clover, and the remarkable succcss of this venture are matters of record. In a recent paper George M. Thomson presents an interesting article on the Eombi introduced in New Zealand, giving also a list of the plants and flowers which are visited by these bees. He makes the interesting statement that, with a few exceptions, he has never heard of these bees visiting the flowers of indigenous plants, but states that they have become so extraordinarily abundant that the question has even arisen in his mind as to whether thev would not become as seri ous a pest to the apiariBt as the rabbits have proved to the farmer and cultivator, on account of their absorbing so much of the nectar of the flowers. He also points out the remarkable fact in connection with the life of the bumble bee in New Zealand, that in many parts of the colony it does not seem to hibernate at all, but is to be seen daily on flowers all the year round.?Insect Life.

When this tube getB inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can ba taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will he destroyed forever; nine cases out or ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
